This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn’t previously know about to add to my collection.

But it’s true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.

The story is in the fact that they’re even asking.

I hear good things about Chimera OS feeling a lot like Steam OS when you’re trying to get a similar experience for laptops, if that’s what you’re going for.

Keep a small Windows partition if you play any of those games with anti-cheat that don’t allow Linux.

Otherwise, almost everything else just works with Proton. It’s a lovely age.

My two favorite distros as well.

Mint Cin is a solid first distro. UI feels a lot like Windows and gives a comfy environment to learn in.

Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.

If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.

I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.

You do realize that the actual issue is that this is kind of thing is going to be normalized, so that it can spread like a plague across the corporate-touched internet, objectively making the entire thing as a whole objectively worse… right?

Because it sure doesn’t seem like it with that reply.

Far too little, far too late. Even if this was the most glowing revision ever (it isn’t, but even if it was), the trust is gone.

Save yourself the PR nightmare that accompanies data breaches! Prevent all outside hacking forever by proactively dumping your data onto the internet yourself!

It’s pure genius!

Any idea of why Unity did this?

I mean, they’ll generate some short term cash, sure, but they just lost their entire customer base. No developer of any size can take on the liability and risk of working with Unity again, even if Unity realizes how badly they screwed this up and reverts this.

Pretty sure there have been a few spam bot/latent bot purges over the last month on multiple instances. I remember people discussing them a little while back. And it was a ton of bots.

So part of what you’re seeing is normalization, as the user numbers were always artificially inflated with bots.

It’s hard to get steam into tablespoons. I was really impressed.

Our definition of spam may be different. I think of it on a personal level as “this guy / bot just cross-posted the same thing to five different communities within two minutes.” Others wouldn’t define that as spam.

With blackjack? And hookers?

Connect for Lemmy has a block instances feature. No idea how well it works though

Instantly, completely, and perfectly. I know because I accidentally blocked my home instance (.world), and I had NOTHING on my local page. Took a few moments to figure out how to unblock it lol

I’ve found it much more effective to ban the spam posters / bot posters in general, instead of communities. That catches the worst of it and mostly eliminates all of the cross posting.

NSFW content has an enable/disable toggle check box in the settings. Sounds like you’ve got it turned off.

Yep, the name and branding were the problem. Nailed it!

Could they not just go with “.mali” as their governtal extension? It’s only two more characters. Why mess with all of the existing .ml stuff on the internet?
